Translation Corner: Cemaes derives from the Welsh word for "bend" or "bay," reflecting its picturesque coastal location.
Cemaes Bay, on Anglesey's northern coast, is a charming village nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with parts owned by the National Trust. This former fishing village offers a tranquil and authentic seaside escape in North Wales.

Renowned for its lobster catch, Cemaes boasts a quaint high street with shops, a deli, cafes, dog-friendly inns, an award-winning fish and chip shop, and a cosy restaurant. Its historic harbour, once a smuggler’s haven, now hosts fishing boats and scenic coastal trips.
The bay is home to two sandy beaches, Traeth Mawr (Big Beach) and Traeth Bach (Little Beach). Both are perfect for families, with rock pools to explore, kayaking, and windsurfing opportunities. Facilities like cafes and toilets are conveniently close.
Just beyond Cemaes, hidden coves and dramatic cliffs await discovery. Nearby, Porth Padrig Beach is dominated by the striking quartz rock The White Lady, while Llanbadrig Church, linked to St. Patrick, offers breathtaking views and a profound sense of peace once praised by the Dalai Lama.
Cemaes combines natural beauty, rich history, and a warm welcome, making it an wonderful destination.
